Every week he’s out we learn how valuable he is.

So important to have him back for the second half of the year.

What a great bunch of young men we have at Punt rd , pretty much all taking less to stay part of the Club, others have left for opportunity and that’s fair enough, I think Brando is the only one who left for coin
I heard Brando on the Dylan Buckley podcast last year and he said that he was told if he stayed he would have to take a significant pay cut and that he was not discouraged from looking elsewhere.

Oh East Melbourne!
Yep can’t underestimate the loss of this bloke.... I think Dimma mentioned it in the doco after he went down in the GF - in the top couple of players we can’t afford to go down as he is critical to our game plan.

And that fat *smile* Robinson was calling his sub out of round 1 *smile*.
Big V is a huge loss to our back line

Someone needs to pull that scumbag up on that.
They never turn on their own. I remember the Carl Pietersen thing. We delisted him after a year for off field issues. Then he got picked up by the Hawks a year later and played a few decent games. All over the media it was ‘Richmond stuffs up again’. Despite his performances Hawthorn let him go at the end of the season, probably off field issues, yet no one ever said that maybe the Tigers got it right and the Hawks didn’t.

Yeah.
Robbo still has his article from last week if we lost to Stkilda.
Cant believe he is on T.V.

I still can’t believe he’s allowed to call himself a journalist. He probably doesn’t remember what he said about Vlastuin. Memory loss is a side effect of alcoholism.

So is Floss Tone a chance for this week?
And no Danger to knock him out either.
Was really worried when he went out after Rd1.
Really compromised our defensive set up.
He's missed 6 games.
We won 3 and lost 3.
Could have been 4 and 2 with some luck against Pt Prison Bars.
I'll take 3 and 3.
So only Syd and Range Rovers were bad results during the stint without him.
Again take that.
This guy is so crucial for us as we all know.

From what I saw at our recovery session today Tigga is almost certain to play.

Thanks caesar, dare I say it....Hail! :))

Was he kicking longer passes?
Do they kick the footies during recovery sessions?
Excuse my ignorance.
I think I heard somewhere from last week Floss saying he still gets pain when kicking more than 20 to 30 metres.

Wednesday will be all telling but Nick was moving well today and kicking the ball as required in the drills, no-one was bombing the ball today it was pretty ball movement and 40 meter passes.
